I met you through our mutual friend Dorothy Durava and also considered you a friend. I miss our gatherings at Dorothys', dinners at Jimmys and gatherings with Larry.
May God keep you in his grace.

May God keep you in his graces. You were a wonderful co-worker at Grainger for many years. It was a blessing to work with you! I too, think of you every Christmas when we hang those gorgeous Christmas stockings you made for my two kids.

Leona Rest in Peace. You were a wonderful, funny, kind person. I think of you at Christmas time every year when I hang the stocking you made my daughter. I will miss you! Love, Vicky
